Sorry to hear abou that. It seems like teams are dropping like flies in Africa Pro. If you know of any players who want to stay in Africa Pro, feel free to send them my way

So many teams packing up and going home its crazy, if i was Bort I'd do something ASAP to fix the issue.
Bort doesn't care anymore. Look at the $ it costs to boost a whole team for 1 season. ~$100+, times 32 teams in a league. Multipy that by the 200ish leagues in the game, or maybe even round that WAY down to 150, to take into account the number of CPU teams in each league. Subract the costs of a few servers to run all of this, and the bandwidth required with this much traffic.
Bort is still making a few hundred thousand a month with this thing. And this is month #12 (although obviously it wasn't this full the entire time).
He is now more worried about making money than making a good game. He will keep randomly changing stuff every season so everyone will have 1 season where "their" bulld is the flavor of the month, and it will be harder for them to quit because they are attached to a guy who used to be good and they can't figure out why he isn't anymore.
I spent too much a long time ago, and have just been steadily retiring players for the past 4 seasons. I personally won't spend another dime on the game.

I think he feels the pressure. Hopefully he can get his changes in and fix the game a little bit. It's obviously broken right now.
Too bad you guys are leaving...

Blame all the whiners who were crying about every little insignificant thing about this game. Just because they weren't smart enough to know how to gameplan or build a team right, they choice to piss and moan about how unfair the game is to them. It was the pressure of those douchebags that forced Bort and company to keep tinkering with the game. I do agree that Bort deserves some of the blame in all of this, but those whinny assclowns deserves some of the blame as well.

Bort deserves a lot of blame for listening to those whiny bitchy assclowns. He needs to understand that he's never going to make every single customer happy, but to do what he did with passing was just bullshit. I'll be honest. If I had a big time Powerback....I would run that son of a bitch every play of the game. I don't care if it's 3rd and 20....here comes the Power. Now tell me that's fun?? It's not. We loved to pass and mix in the run. There is not way to compete like that unless you have higher level averages than the teams you play. We do have some pretty colored dots though. Thanks Bort. FIX THE EFFIN' GAME...ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
On a side note. I would really love for our QB Seabass to continue to play in Pro. He's won a few League MVP honors in AAA and led APL last season in passing yards. He's one hell of a build for passing if the game gets fixed. If any of you need an upgrade at QB he is the man. He's had an amazing career and I hate to see it end like this. He would love to stay in APL.

It is always sad to see GOOD OWNERSHIP and WELL RUN teams pack up and quit due to the bullshit that this game has become.
I will say it again, why do we have endorsements, fame, that bullshit when YOU CAN'T PASS IN THE GAME!!!!!!!
I also LOVE the feedback we get from upper management ,on this season. Their are TONS of threads that are out there that are talking about how shitty this season is, and there are tons of WELL RUN teams packing it in due to how bad this has become.

OMG.......Again call me whatever you want, but you will never be able to call me a quitter....Do we have a power back? Nope, Do I cry about the sim, nope....I have been in APL from the start, and understand Bort chooses a flavor of a season, so have a balanced team....Is it right? Nope, but I can not beleive how many teams are in it for a quick win......Again, look at my roster year after year my agents sign 3 year deals, I must be treating them right, because we have fun trying to win....I am not trying to judge in this post, but man some of you are big quitters.

well when you have always sucked you never know how fun it is to win so you can stay suck ass and enjoy it while those who have tasted glory cannot bare defeat.
And your team is going to suck reguardless of any sim change, for a team that was good to now suck because Bort tinkered with the good is blah and who can fault them to quiting.

for the record before LAST season our first in APL KNR discussed rebooting and going slowbuild. we had already planned this before our 2 dissapointing seasons.

I actually feel your pain.
A lot of things need to be adjusted in this game.
Sorry to see you go though.
